It was a significant date for the Nazis because it marked the twentieth anniversary of the end of War, the overthrow of Kaiser Wilhelm II, and the birth of the degenerate Wiemar Republic. I don't think many folks know or care that Luther was born on that date. I don't even know why the author mentioned it. Maybe because Marty was anti semitic and the author hoped to associate him in some convoluted way with K-nite.

It's a tangential relationship and a tiny point, but not convoluted. Luther's attitude toward Jews was part and parcel of Europe's ancient, widespread and deeply ingrained anti-semitism, of which Krystallnacht was a drastic expression.

I think Luther’s antipathy toward the Pope and Papacy and his actions resulting from both are of much greater historical significance than his beliefs about Jews. Europe was anti semitic before Marty came along.
